Feed Description: A cross between a blog and wiki of my partly-formed ideas on software development
web site news: ThoughtWorks started using Ruby for production projects in
2006, from then till the end of 2008 we had done 41 ruby projects. In
preparation for a talk at QCon I surveyed these projects to examine
what lessons we can draw from the experience. I describe our
thoughts so far on common questions about Ruby's productivity, speed and
maintainability. So far our conclusions are that Ruby is a viable
platform that should be seriously considered for many forms of
applications - in particular web applications using Ruby on
Rails. I also go through some technical lessons, including
some thoughts on testing with Active Record.
